On furlough in London, Saunders (Vic Morrow) delivers a $300 bequest to a local orphanage. The hard-bitten sergeant ends up lending a helping hand to Ann Tinsley (Carol Lawrence), who in true stiff-upper-lip fashion is trying to keep the orphans hale and hearty during an upsurge of German bombing raids. Inevitably, Saunders and Ann fall in love, despite their fears about what the future may hold. Prominently featured as a shell-shocked orphan is child actress Chris Charney, who went on to enjoy a successful adult career under the name Christine Baranski. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A wounded Littlejohn (Dick Peabody) awakens to find that he's been kidnapped by four scruffy French children. As a means of survival, the enterprising youngsters intend to "sell" Littlejohn to the highest bidder, just as they've done with several other American and German prisoners in the past. Despite its title, this is not a "cute" episode by any means: the scene in which one of the children grabs a gun and kills an intruder is one of the most harrowing in the series' history. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Captured by the Germans (again!), Saunders (Vic Morrow) manages to escape from a POW train in the company of cowardly American soldier Decker (Tom Skerritt). Seriously wounded in the escape, Saunders knows that he cannot rely upon his "companion" for aid--and worse, the Germans have sent a vicious pack of dogs after both men. The situation becomes graver still when Saunders is recaptured and injected with mind-altering drugs. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A curious cross-section of humanity is entombed by a mine cave-in. Among those trapped are two American privates, a pair of German officers, a French girl (played by former child star Margaret O'Brien) and her German-deserter lover, and an embittered Resistance fighter. As Hanley (Rick Jason) and his squad race against time in a rescue effort, the "prisoners" must somehow agree to pull together for their common survival. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
